I really liked my visit to Graze. I frequent Time Out Market in Chicago so I’m familiar with the concept. You can either order from your phone or order at the counter from whatever restaurant you’d like. I ordered the vegan bowl and toast from Avocadish. It was great. But I wish that the servings were small so I could have tried more things at more places. The bowl was huge, enough for two normal sized people. Also when the hostess greeted me at the door she explained everything to me but didn’t tell me there were 2 more restaurants upstairs. I assumed the upstairs was just the roof top patio. I would have eaten at Soul Bowl or the taco place up there. But anyways, cool vibe, cute place, good concept, nice outdoor space, dogs allowed on patio. Great place to meet up with a few friends and would probably be a good place for a date.
Love the concept of this building. The main seating area has access to several restaurants, a bar, and a coffee shop. All restaurants are counter serve. Hmong Kitchen is located here and is exceptional. Seating on the rooftop and inside is available.
Hmong Union Kitchen. The interplay of flavors going on here is crazy. The warmth from the spice is spot on. Not mouth burning at all. The Acid from the variety of Pickeld veg against the fat from the dark chicken parts and sausage is palate cleansing. I will be popping in soon
I like the concept but perhaps missing on the execution in my mind. When I think of "Graze", I think of lots of small plates, street food, bite size portions to share but almost every place here is serving up "Bowls", not really a sharing/grazing option. The bar is nice, you can keep a tab and order upstairs or downstairs. They do add a 5% "Wellness" surcharge in addition to a tip. Bar service was OK. The atmosphere and environment is 4-5 stars. They need a tapas vendor in this space. Best if you can catch Happy Hour from 4-6
Very cool food and drink hall. Great location, excellent indoor and outdoor space. Lots of options for everyone, and even a good spot for kids.I'll specifically call out Soul Bowl for the awesome fried chicken sandwich (Big K.R.I.T).
Graze provided a fun location with multiple food options and a classy coffee vibe. We loved the outdoor patio, especially on a beautiful day in the Twin Cities. The spring coffee flights brought us in and were worth the trip. For lunch, we had tacos, salsa, and chips - but there were also options for chicken, salads, and sandwiches.The gated area of the restaurant was dog friendly - we loved it, but it’s not for everyone. Someone was smoking outside, which we didn’t enjoy. A DJ came out for the dinner rush, but the music was a bit loud too, especially when it got redirected inside during a short rain. Thankfully one of the restaurant managers asked them to turn it down.The place got pretty packed after the Twins game let out, but we enjoyed ourselves and look forward to trying out the balcony and mimosa flights next time.
Graze is awesome! If you’re visiting the University of Minnesota (like we are right now), you HAVE TO visit Graze for lunch, dinner, or drinks. It’s a good court, so you have a handful of choices. I got the skirt steak platter at the Hmong restaurant. My family got vegan dishes at Avocadish. Graze is in a very fun area of restaurants, microbreweries, shops, and the Twins’ stadium (Target Field).
What an excellent business concept in the perfect location! At the end of the Blue Line stands this fantastic food court complete with an upstairs and downstairs bar as well as a fantastic coffee shop. Though definitely priced for the city, the atmosphere and options make a trip to Graze absolutely worth it!We enjoyed a coffee flight from the coffee bar followed by some PacMan and lunch from Soul Bowl. We will be back in the future for some Bad Chicken and Happy Hour beverages for sure!
Fun, casual place to grab food and a cocktail or beer. There are TVs around to watch sporting events. Plenty of space to go with a group.
The location has music playing with bars and food vendors. It seemed like a place for groups to come together to hang out. You could get what you needed from each vendor, then bring the items to your table. I'd call it indoor food trucks.The managers were very nice in helping me figure out an issue with my gift card. Their supplier for gift cards was having issues, which I understand happens. The gift cards weren't working in store during my visit.When I tried to order carry out online, there wasn't a place to enter a gift card. I tried calling for help multiple times and no one answered. I didn't like how the website forced an 18% tip for carryout either. I tip waiters well, but carryout isn't the same level of service. I ended up having to drive to the store to place my order, where you can pick the tip you want to provide.We got food for four people, and none of us were impressed with the taste. Two of us thought the food we ordered wasn't cooked properly. One thought the food was cold (we drove two minutes to my friend's apartment nearby). I thought my food was fine, but I couldn't order my preference because the wait would've been too long. They also forgot to put our pretzel sticks we ordered in the bag. All around, I wasn't impressed.I can see why other people would like the venue. If you want a place to drink with friends that has a variety of food options, their setup would work nicely. I don't drink alcohol, and I had my daughter with me. It wasn't a family-friendly venue, but I think that's the point. I'm not the target demographic!
